In reply to Clare. During the baking and before cooling, the middle will still be soft and won't have set yet. The brownies need to cool fully and probably even set in the fridge before you can see if they have baked through! The trail needs to last a couple of seconds, but also it relies on the rest of the ingredients being correct such as the dark chocolate being used in the base and having a high enough cocoa content (70%+) x

Baked these today. Left them in for 35 minutes but they were quite gloopy in the middle as if the mixture wasn’t cooked fully. How long do u need to mix the chocolate/butter mixture to have it hold a trail?

Hi Jane,
Was planning on making these for my boyfriend’s birthday but he doesn’t like dark chocolate would it be possible to substitute for milk or just add more cocoa powder?
Thank you!

In reply to Jackie. Oh no! This sounds like the mixing process wasn't correct, or you may have swapped an ingredient out (such as milk chocolate for dark chocolate) and that can definitely cause a problem. If the mixture isn't whisked correctly or carefully folded together, it will cause a problem with the bake xx

I found the final brownie to be a bit stodgy.
The rolo’s disappeared too, despite freezing them for about two hours.
Took much longer to cook too.
A bit disappointed:0(

In reply to Jessica Wattleworth. Can I swap the rolos for cadburys caramel as I already have a few packs & would it be the same quantity? Xx

Oh my I’ve just made the rolo brownies, oh wow they are amazing, all goey with the caramel running through them, I’ve made the jammie dodgers and don’t get me started on the biscoff cheesecake.

Great recipe. I followed it almost exactly, the only change was that I used 160g of rolos instead of the full amount as I only brought a four pack. And I had to use self raising flour as that was the only flour I had but I don’t think it made a difference. They still tasted great. I really liked the texture once I had put them in the fridge after cooling. I will say that they are incredibly sweet and one at a time is definitely enough ( yes I ate more than one but I regretted it as felt quite sicky) great bake… Good to take to the office to save yourself from eating them all lol

Hi Jane , love your recipes. Thought i`’d try your Rolo brownies as my brownies never turn out right……these did and taste amazing. Only thing was that I left the rolos in the freezer for an hour but they still melted so think they need to be in for a few hours at least /overnigth.

I’m looking at making munchies brownies, would it be better to freeze these first like you do with some of the other fillings? Love your recipes by the way!

In reply to Sama. Hiya! Some Lindt chocolates go up to 100% in cocoa so it may have been why! Thank you ever so much - happy baking! x

Hi Jane,

I absolutely love your recipes- every single one is a literal 11/10 for taste and I have so much fun making them. I now don’t even bother to search the web when I’m baking something- I come straight to your site instead! Have made so many fabulous recipes of yours (some of my favourites being the white chocolate and biscoff rocky road, Easter rocky road and the terrys chocolate orange brownies) but for some reason I can’t seem to perfect my brownies even though I’ve made them 100s of times.

I made these rolo ones and when they came hot out the oven they literally tasted like a chocolate fondant in the middle and were amazing- but for some reason once they cooled down they had a really overpowering and bitter cocoa powdery taste. I did double the mixture to make more but I’m not sure where I have gone wrong. I followed the recipe exactly but I used Lindt chocolate as the dark chocolate- do you think this could be the problem? If so I will just start sticking to your suggestions now and purchase the Amazon dark chocolate instead.

Again, love you and your baking and would be great if you could help me with where I’m going wrong haha- have also asked for a copy of your book for Christmas :’) <3

In reply to Jane Higgs. Hiya! If the quantities going into each tin are still the same - then nothing needs to be changed! Hope this helps! x
